Royal Garden Cafe Aoyama

They seem very busy and understaff. No one gave us a menu so we asked after between 5-10 minutes of sitting. Which seems slow for a Japanese restaurant. I went on a Tuesday at 3pm.

My friend and I only ordered appetizers. The penne pasta, fried chicken, caesar salad, charcuterie, and the cheese toast.

The pasta portion was small. But the sauce was very flavorful and had a good aroma from the cheese. The fried chicken was juicy and the skin was well seasoned. It had a strong balance that reminded me of Korean fried chicken that is cooked and seasoned well. The salad was well made and had a good balance of dressing, seasoning, and ingredients. Overall I was impressed for type of food they are trying to serve.

I didnt mind the price as I wasnt looking to budget. It ended up coming out to be ¥5000ぐらい which I wouldn't say was bad. Portion sizes were not too big. I would come here for a pleasant meal but not if you are trying to be full
